Not such a big deal about Lever not turning up to the Crows B&F. At least he turned up for the Grand Final which is more than you can say about Tex.

If we can't get Lever should we target Michael Newton? Was BOG kicking 8 goals for Wang in the Granny.

Juice spilled some of the easiest marks I've ever seen but at least he could get to the drop of the ball and be in a position to take them.

i'm yet to see any evidence that weid can read the flight of the ball.

it get's excused on demonland as bad kicking but I can assure you juice wasn't getting it on a silver platter

I've seen Weid get into good position in front many times. His issue is he hasn't the body yet to hold his ground. He gets pushed aside too easily. Greater strength, particularly core strength, will improve this. I've also noticed his tackling is good for a player his size.

Yes and no, his agility is poor and he doesn't fully commit to defensive acts often when he is the only player within the vicinity and the team needs him to, but he has shown some strong signs with his tackling in congestion.

Agreed, he's moved off the ball and has his approach blocked - that gives the impression he is out of position.  If it's still happening in a year or two, then we have real issues.  He's a junior player on the list - he needs to fill out.

How come Robbie Flower could always get to the drop of the ball and not be pushed out of the way? It is more than a strength issue.

it's not a weight/size issue. plenty of players with his build do quite well with marking, holding their ground etc

Because, despite appearances, he was deceptively strong and incredibly well balanced.

Don't judge tall forwards too early. Very few are able to set the world on fire straight away, which is why Jesse is a freak.

Josh Kennedy was rubbish when he played for Carlton. Look how that turned out.

Because he invented the Toby Green don't argue flying for the ball with his legs parallel to the ground and feet directed at anyone who wanted to get in the way of him or the ball. All 70kg's of him.

Weideman has shown enough to suggest that with time and development he can become a good player. 

Hes alresdy dominated games at VFL level and as his body develops I'm sure that'll transition to AFL

the big guys do seem to take 3-4 years to get going

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
